Yup. It's GOT to be "all systems NOMINAL". And she really sounds best

[Karyudo ds]

Voice work? She just record a few Betty lines didn't she or am I forgetting big chunks of the game? Personally I don't see why any of the Betty feedback has to be the same really. Not every aircraft has the same voice...some of them speak Russian and might possibly be male for some reason. Then again I don't see why the Clans and Innershpere would even have the same sound clips either....that stuff usually gets replaced well within the several hundred year span it took them to return.

That said I wouldn't mind her rerecording the lines either. Just seems like it should sound a little different if they did. Maybe even have a few different Betty's.

I can cope with a slightly different voice, but every time I hear that sequence get to 'all systems online' it makes me wince. It's the same effect as a new Arnie film having him say 'I will return again', or a remake of the 6 million dollar man featuring the phrase 'Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have some spare electronics over here somewhere.'

Mission Breifing Voice, and all the sounds you hear in the cockpit (Will find out Exactly what she did at some point) you have a fair point yes every machine has diffrent voices not all are the same you are right but it is still iconic for us Mechwarriors who want the same thrill we got back in 1995 when the Mech first started up and Music got rolling

Ah okay, I forgot about those clips. Wasn't sure. I do like the option, though I think having a couple options would be interesting. Granted her's might be the most popular for those of us that remember mechs before textures were on anything bigger than logos.

You see, nostalgia aside, the point is that she just nailed it perfectly in that game.

In that Facebook comment, she remarks that the MW2 Mercs sequence wasn't her because she wouldn't pronounce "online" like that. After reading that, I believe that the reason that people consistently say how much the extra "online" in the trailer bothers them isn't just that it's the wrong word in that place, but also that it does sound just that tiny bit off. I couldn't place it before.

That said, options are always good to have.

Reactor Online, Sensors Online, Weapons Online, All Systems ONLINE....... This almost gave me an aneurysm lol. It HAS to be All Systems NOMINAL!!! I mean come on PGI W T F!?!?



I think It would be absolutely awesome if we could have the two choices of having either Carole Ruggier or Peter Cullen as our computer voice.

[Subzero Ray]

I don't really care about the voice actress personally. What bugs me more is that they changed the line to "All systems: Online." It just doesn't sound right after years of fans knowing it as "All systems: Nominal".

[Warfeli]

"Reactor Online. Sensors Online. Weapons online. All systems Online/Nominal."

I don't really understand the fixation on this line, in fact, it's kind of silly to me.
Is there a point when you start up the Mech when the computer will say anything ELSE? If so, then it makes sense.

Example: If your "sensors" or 1 of your weapons is damaged, and for some reason you shutdown (due to heat or to go off-radar) when you start up again, will the computer instead say "Reactor Online. Sensors damaged. Weapons damaged. All systems, no so great." ???

Also, I like the new voice better when compared with the MW2 one.

[Chavette]

Why no love for the MW3 voice ?

I agree with the nominal instead of online though.

[SilentSooYun]

It would be nice if they could use her, but it's not a make-or-break issue for me.
The voice from the teaser works well enough to trigger that ol' nostalgia.

[Telthalion]

I've always preferred the MW2:Mercs computer voice to the classic MW2 voice. But I still love both. I'd be happy to have either one, or an equally well-done new voice.

Was never a huge fan of the MW3 voice - it spoke a bit too fast, didn't have the same flow; which is also one of the reasons people have stated for liking it, it's more efficient, trying to convey information rapidly during battle.

As many have mentioned, a choice of several different voices would be ideal.

As for the "online" vs "nominal" thing... it was beaten to a bloody pulp when they first released the trailer. The devs have stated (informally, not in an official announcement) that it was an oversight during trailer creation and that it will be "nominal" in the actual release.

[alpha assault]

Ohhh no certainly not a make or break issue for me either i will be putting all my time into the game regardless just thought it would be nice if we could find out what people would like

[Ramien]

Well, this may be heresy, but since Majel Barret Roddenberry is dead, I suppose Ms. Ruggier can do the job.

She's no Enterprise computer, though.

It pains me when the startup sequence is different, all systems online? Plz make it all systems nominal, thx!

It seems so much better that way

[Adrienne Vorton]

well... sure i´d like to have the good old MW2 voice back...but the actress would be like 20 years older now and might sound very different now;) only way i could imagine would be to use the original soundfile from mw2, but i don´t know if it is doable (legal issues?)

i´m fine with the voice from the teaser, if PG change the last sentence "all systems online " to the "original" "all systems NOMINAL"...

[Tarskin]

Do... want... now! I am pretty sure a lot of people will modify the files to get her voice in otherwise and it will be a very nice boost to PGI's image if they asked her

[Stormeris]

Make many different voices, and they would have to be bought!
Pretty sure many pleople would buy
